Beer and Grub - 22nd George and Dragon

[AngryS3Owner]

Well I think I can actually make this Thursday, to try somewhere new to the SAS (I think) and closer to some members I was thinking the George and Dragon would be a good idea.

They do great food and it's a nice pub, around 8?

(didn't realise it was the same group and The Ferry and the Belvedere!)

I have a spare built 5.4 block and some ported heads with cams.
Tune is good for +800
Crank is good for 1000bhp
Also an Eaton blower with some additional drive

Should give inpressive torque

Overpriced and pretentious, but I'm sure the company will make up for it!

The food is good, but the service last summer left a lot to be desired after the place changed hands... Nice summers day, moored up at G&D for lunch - couple of tables free outside so sat down. Eventually after being ignored for 20 mins a waiter arrives and asks if we want to order drinks.

Me, "Yep, cokes for kids and a beer - and can we have some menu's please?"
Waiter (twat), "Oh, sorry sir you can't eat here."
Me, looking at 10+ tables next to us of people eating, "Errr, why can't we eat here?"
Twat, "This table is for drinks only."
Me, "But it's the same as all the other tables and I sat here 2 weekends ago for lunch?"
Twat, "Yes, but this table is only for drinks now."
Me, "OK, so where can we eat?"
Twat, "I guess I could see if a table is available inside?"

At this point it's worth pointing out that apart from two tables the restaurant inside is empty...

So, we eventually go inside with much muttering from me and over-use of the word 'pretentious'...

Me, "Can we look at the childrens menu as well please?"
Twat, "We don't do a childrens menu sir."
Me, "Errr, you did two weeks ago?"
Twat, "Yes, but we're now under new management and we don't have a childrens menu anymore."
Me, "OK, well we'll just look at the standard menu then."
Twat, "Of course sir, will the children also be eating?"

Needless to say, I didn't leave a tip...
